One of the great things about the web is the amount of good case studies shared.

One of the worst things about the web is that it's so hard to find them.

Step forward the Digital Engagement Guide which aims to be a veritable storehouse of good examples across government and local government. Much of it is transferrable to the private sector too.

A quick disclaimer I submitted a handful of examples to Steph Gray of Helpful Technology when the idea was first mooted. Since then the site has grown into a rich seam of content. The idea is simple. A screenshot. A link, some tags to help you search and a brief summary all grouped under headers. Brilliant.

Here are 15 links from the site that would help the person looking for some digital comms inspiration:
